Subject: [Regression, bisected] tcpdump broken in 2.6.34-rc1

After upgrading to 2.6.34-rc1, tcpdump fails with the following message:

  tcpdump: setsockopt: Invalid argument

The issue is reproducable on two very different machines: one using
iwlagn and the other using et131x.  Bisection reveals the following and
reverting the implicated commit resolves the issue.

914c8ad2d18b62ad1420f518c0cab0b0b90ab308 is the first bad commit
commit 914c8ad2d18b62ad1420f518c0cab0b0b90ab308

    af_packet: do not accept mc address smaller then dev->addr_len in packet_mc_add()
    
    There is no point of accepting an address of smaller length than dev->addr_len
    here. Therefore change this for stonger check.
